YES, if matter counteracts the acceleration of gravity it is doing work ! It spent energy, real energy ( and not QM demons that don't want to be at the same place at the same time)
Matter is not counteracting the "acceleration of gravity". Newton's are a measurement of force, how much force is this matter putting down. No counteracting, no rising against such force. Just a calculation of the force.
So one of us and all the matter that makes us up, we are around 750 Newtons (168.6lbs). We are not doing anything against gravity, we are just there, weighing that much, and our matter doesn't change. But if you were on the moon you'd only weigh 27.9lbs and you'd be exerting 124.1 Newtons of force.
Now if you stand up or something, you are briefly overpowering the force holding you there, to which you can make calculations about if so desired.
Matter is not counteracting anything by just sitting there.
Get it yet?

You don't get it !!
Hold something heavy in your hand, it pulls down and you have to overcome this force with your mussels.
You use energy for that, don't you ?
Put it down on the ground, it stays there but the pulling force do not stop pulling on it, or do you think gravity stops because its on the ground and not in your hand ?
The ground counteract the pulling force of gravity, therefore energy is used..

I watched all episodes of this and was amazed at the content and explanations given. I did find the following videos in the series had a lot of repeated material as if they were speaking to remedial students but, this is the state of most people in the world so, they get a pass.
If my memory is correct, the plan was to make seven videos but the author stopped at 4 to five and stated that his project was being cancelled because he did not have enough time…. I really wish I could see the remaining information even in written form.
All-in-all, great theory with a lot of supporting evidence. The nay-sayers should look past the (I believe, misleading title) and check out the video; there is a lot of food for the mind there.

E=mc2
E - energy, what energy ??
some say kinetic energy, kinetic energy of what ?? a virtual (non existent) particle like photon ?
m - mass, what mass ??
1kg on the Earth is 1kg because on Earth gravitational
acceleration is 9.81 m/s^2
the same 1kg on the Sun with gravitational acceleration of 274 m/s2
or 28.0 times that of the Earth is 28kg
c - the speed of light, measured here on Earth, not near the Sun or Alpha Centauri
or in any Galaxy billions light years away.
you should not calculate with this equation.

Uh, methinks you don't understand the definition of mass.
